Counter project.
After various consultations, we came to the conclusion that the client’s future project did not meet the environmental constraints, so while keeping his initial family program, 4 distinct levels for each family group.
A- Ground floor for service and guests.
B- First floor for the grandparents.
C- Second floor for children.
D- Third floor for events.
D- Fourth floor for the couple.
So, we proposed a counter-project. Inspired by the local architecture, we decided to Plugging 3 essential elements to the surrounding climate on the family program.
The 3 PLUGS are:
1-Patio
2-Desert fridge
3-Wind Tower
1-Patio: private gardens on each level create an endless relationship between interior and exterior and furthermore, they provide a connection between the floors by means of oblique corridors linking them.
2-Desert Fridge:
For the facades, we proposed to the client to manufacture hollow tubes of rectangular section in glazed ceramics, these will be wedged according to a certain aesthetic, these panels will be the first protective layer of the villa the second layer is the surrounding air allowing natural circulation and as a third external layer, we install a vapor barrier on cellular concrete panels. As the last protective layer on the outside, a layer of air and finally Claytec clay panels on the inside.
3-Wind tower:
In order to reduce the heat drastically, we propose to install a double wind tower, visible on the facade, also serving as a vertical staircase, these columns are connected to the basement with a seawater basin following the principle of the Canadian well reinterpreted for the Dubai climate.
Following “EnergyEvaluation” program, we made a model of the project and we note a temperature drop of 17º between the interior of the villa and the exterior without using A/C.
